A fter the ringing of a bell, students in black robes enter the room ready to admit a mem-ber of the university into their esteemed or-ganization: Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK)

Society.Throughout October, 37 new members, including

both faculty and staff members, were tapped into ODK. ODK secretly entered classrooms and student meetings

with their signature entrance to admit those who quali-fied. Members wore black robes to symbolize academic honors and ring the historical bell that was donated from a Navy ship.

To be considered for one of the highest distinctions and honors at UM, inductees have to be nominated by their peers.

“People submit their peers based on the criteria of the ideals of ODK,” ODK President Perihan Elbadrawi said. “Someone of good character, strong leader, dedi-cated to democratic ideal. They are nominated on one of five areas and their GPA must be in the top 35 percent.”

These five areas are scholarship, athletics, campus (community) service and campus government, journal-ism and creative and performing arts.

More often than not, prospective members do not know that they were nominated and will be just as sur-prised when ODK members arrive to announce the ini-tiation.

“It’s a rewarding experience,” said Elbadrawi, a se-nior majoring in economics, political science and inter-

national studies. “When we come in to tap them in, we see their faces light up.”

A national leadership honor society, ODK recog-nizes any student, faculty, staff, administrator or alumni who has superior scholarship, leadership and exemplary character.

A staple organization of the university, ODK’s tra-dition has been recognized and respected by the Canes since 1949. Founders include former UM presidents Bow-man Ashe and Jay Pearson, who helped to establish the honor society and make it one of the university’s Home-coming traditions.

As such, the famed ringing of the bell will open the ceremonies of Homecoming on Oct. 30.

Not only an honor society, the 67-member network also serves as an intersection point for student leaders.

“Our goal is to provide a network, both through cur-rent students and alumni in our University of Miami cir-cle,” Elbadrawi said. “We want to create a good support system for student leaders.”

T he third meeting for vegan and veg-etarian students was held at the Mahoney-Pearson dining hall last Wednesday, hosted by senior dining

facility administration including the director of dining services, director of resident dining, direc-tor of operations, marketing manager, registered dietician and the Mahoney-Pearson dining hall manager.

Students and staff meet every other week to taste test new food, address comments and con-cerns, submit requests, receive updates on upcom-ing initiatives, learn about the preparation process of the vegan or vegetarian food and collaborate on incorporating new meal choices into the on-cam-pus dining menu.

“We’re really looking to communicate and get feedback,” Director of Dining Services Michael Ross said. “This is the chance for us to learn about how we can fully provide for our vegans and veg-etarians on campus.”

For Natalie Hickerson, a freshman vegan, the meetings are a matter of knowing the quality of what she is eating.

“The meetings give me a way to directly talk to the people making my food so that I’m able to eat on campus without issue,” said Hickerson. “I get to ensure that I get quality food that tastes good.”

The students relayed their thoughts on the dining experience and new options varying from ways to cook pasta and dessert requests to vegeta-ble seasoning and favorite food and drink, openly discussing their preferences with staff. Some of the issues addressed at the meeting included incorrect labeling, meat or dairy-contaminated plating and food quality.

“We want people to feel comfortable bring-ing up issues to management if they’re unhappy or something is wrong, so we can make these correc-tions and provide the best dining experience pos-sible and accommodate everyone,” Director of Operations Joey Sanchez said. “We really want to work on improving communication.”

In the last semester, resident dining services have worked to provide more variety for vegetari-an and vegan students. Directors and those in man-agement are working to increase the amount of fresh produce and herbs offered, as well as to find ways to improve meat substitutes. Through meet-ings and collaborating with new food vendors, the Stanford-Hecht and Mahoney-Pearson dining halls are bringing new dishes to the table.

“We’ve brought in vegan logs and veggie nuggets that are always available to students at the grill station, in addition to our garden burger, black bean burger and vegan burger,” Mahoney-Pearson Dining Hall Manager Krysta Samuel said.

The Stanford-Hecht dining hall opens its Cane Zone to all students during lunch, which serves vegan and vegetarian options including vari-eties of hummus, salads and pastas.

“I can’t always make it to the dining hall for lunch, but it’s nice to know that we have that extra assortment available,” sophomore vegetarian Sa-brina Anand said.

In addition to the dining hall, the school works with vendors to bring vegan options to the food court, including Fresh Fusion in the Donna E. Shalala Student Center, which caters to vegetar-ian and vegan customers, and fresh-pressed juice that is now offered in Outtakes.

“We really work with outside people to try and negotiate a good price so we can continue to provide new, healthy and delicious food and drink to everyone,” Ross said.

Hickerson believes they have improved qual-ity and variety for vegan and vegetarian students.

“I’ve been pleasantly surprised with what’s here,” Hickerson said. “There’s plenty of options,

and it’s great that I don’t have to eat salad every day.”

However, the dining service department con-tinues to work to provide satisfaction and balanced nutrition to vegan and vegetarian students who are dining on campus.

“The hardest thing for us is getting feedback. If [you] have ideas, please relay them to us. If there’s something wrong, we can correct it; if something is going well, we can reinforce it and progress in bettering our service,” Ross said.

T he University of Miami’s theatre arts department is partnering with Miami-Dade County, Arts for

Learning and the African Heritage Cul-tural Arts Center to create an intensive three-year theatre training program for African-American high school girls.

The accelerated theatre arts pro-gram will begin in summer 2016. Un-der professor Tarell Alvin McCraney’s leadership, students will perform a Greek play their sophomore year, write their own play as a junior and then write and perform their own play as a senior. In addition to the hands-on experience the students will gain from McCraney, they will be partnered with undergradu-ates from the University of Miami’s the-atre arts department who will serve as mentors to the young women.

McCraney is a professor of theatre and civic engagement in the University of Miami’s theatre department and will spearhead the three-year summer pro-gram. The Yale School of Drama grad-uate and award-winning playwright decided to create a program that would afford young people the opportunity to develop the skills necessary in becom-ing an artist.

“Oftentimes, we said we want a very diverse community with lots of voices that come together at the table and meet. Well, there are underserved parts of our community, and if there’s a way we can open up the channel of dialogue by sharing resources, that’s al-ways helpful,” McCraney said.

He believes that the same chances given to young athletes to hone their craft should be provided for young art-ists.

“We do it for sports; we know that young kids from a young age, they were playing Pop Warner or they were train-ing in their sport, but for some reason we just think with theatre or television or filmmaking or storytelling, some leap

is supposed to hap-pen between high school and college – you’ve gotten your 10,000 hours and you can come in and be profes-sional.”

McCraney ac-credits his success in the theatre world

to the resources that were available to him at an early age.

In 2013, McCraney received the MacArthur “Genius Grant” for explor-ing the diversity of the African-Amer-ican experience and adapting those experiences to classic Greek plays such as “Hamlet” and “Antony and Cleopa-tra” while continuing to bring theatre to students in underserved communities in Miami.

A Miami native, McCraney sees a lack of representation on the screen and on the stage that reflects the demograph-ics of communities in South Florida.

“Florida has one of the largest populations of African Americans in the country, next to Georgia and South Carolina. For that number to be what it is, you wouldn’t be able to know that by the art that comes out of Florida, and there’s something a little strange about that,” McCraney said.

McCraney worked as an interna-tional writer for the Royal Shakespeare Company in London, where theater companies that are receiving govern-ment subsidies are mandated to pro-duce a season of plays that resembled the citizens living in the city of the the-atre.

“I just thought it was an extraor-dinary idea,” McCraney said. “If we did that in America, can you imagine a season [of plays] that actually looks like Miami? Why are we not doing that?”

The summer program will help bridge the gap between UM’s resources and the greater Miami community by allowing students of color an oppor-tunity to use the arts as a medium for telling their own stories and cultivating their talents.

“At the end of the day, how great would it be that we bring in a crop of students that came through our pro-gram into the gates of the University of Miami and let them know there is a place to continue their training here in Miami, in their community, a place that they love?” McCraney said.

COMMUNITY

By Alexis McDonaldAlexis McDonaldStaff Writer

I n 2015, both word of mouth and doctor rec-ommendations in the media circulate mes-sages on how to prevent cancer: eat healthy, exercise and do everything in moderation.

Until you hit 40 years old, focus on prevention.Few guidelines account for the outliers, the one-

in-a-million cancer cases. Simply put, these are the exceptions, not the rule. Healthy 20-something-year-old women are rarely diagnosed with breast cancer, but this was exactly what Dr. Lainey Kieffer of the Department of Family Medicine at UHealth faced.

“I was 28. Normally, mammograms don’t even start for women until age 40. Prior to that, you may go to a gynecologist, they may give a clinical breast exam, you may be at home and do your own self-breast exams. How would I know?” she said.

Kieffer, a UM alumna, nurse practitioner and director of clinical operations at the Department of Family Medicine, was diagnosed with multifocal in-vasive ductal carcinoma (mutliple tumors that have spread from the milk duct and invaded surrounding breast tissue) in 2012 after feeling a hard, pea-sized mass on her right breast during a self-exam in March.

“I’ve always been very aware of my own body. Breast self-awareness is one way to tackle it and know what your normal is,” she said.

Being a nurse practitioner and working in medi-cine equipped her with the knowledge to take the ap-propriate steps once she felt something irregular.

Kieffer scheduled an ultrasound and mammo-gram and later underwent a biopsy. Two days after the biopsy, Kieffer learned of her cancer and immedi-ately knew she wanted to be treated at Sylvester Com-prehensive Cancer Center.

“Upon finding out, you know, the tight-knit family that I have, we went right into action and started making appointments and trying to figure out oncologists and surgeons and, right away, I went right for Sylvester,” she said. “Having it for an academic research university, I knew that it was exactly where I wanted to be.”

Kieffer said she was caught off guard by her di-agnosis, considering she had no family history of can-cer or health issues. She knew about cancer, but never expected to be a patient herself while still in her 20s.

“I did not know that women my age got breast cancer. I wasn’t really aware of it,” she said. “I knew

it was possible, but never in my life did I think – not having a fam-ily history, exercise, healthy, felt great, never felt sick – that I could have cancer. It was a shock.”

Between the time she had her original mammogram and when she had the biopsy, Kieffer celebrated her engagement at her bridal shower.

“Leading up to diagnosis, I had met the man of my dreams and we were plan-ning on getting married,” she said.

After seeing 25 to 30 doctors in a two-week peri-od, Kieffer and her fiance at the time decided to move the wedding up by six weeks. They were married on May 5, nine days before her first chemotherapy treat-ments.

She had six months of chemotherapy, followed by a double mastectomy and six weeks of radiation. She spent a year on infusions and is now on mainte-nance therapy.

“Treatment is difficult, physically. But with a great support system, it was easy to get through,” she said.

Along with her close family, Kieffer credited her husband with being a consistent source of support throughout her treatment, on her good days as much as on days when she could not get herself out of bed.

“We had a discussion that if we could get through treatment as a married couple, that we could get through anything, because it was tough,” she said.

Now, she is coming up on her two-year anniver-sary of finishing chemotherapy. She is cancer-free. Her dark locks of hair have grown back.

“I’m happy. I’m healthy. I have a family. Life goes on,” she said.

Through experience, Kieffer knows the value of addressing even the smallest possibility of cancer in younger age groups. Early education, detection and self-awareness play a critical role in improving chances of survival.

“Make sure you’re checking your breasts every month and know what your body feels like. So if you feel something different or new, go see your doctor to have that checked out,” she said.

O ne in five adults ex-perienced a mental health issue in 2014, while one in 10 young

adults suffered major depression. Less than half of adults with di-agnosable mental health issues re-ceive treatment, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) at the Uni-versity of Miami wants to know what those sorts of figures look like within UM’s student popula-tion and how resources for mental health could be used more effec-tively. The creation of a student mental health coalition similar to the Coalition on Sexual Violence Prevention and Education would do just that, according to SHAC President Austin Eng.

“It would be similar to that, but students would take a bigger role in the leadership, something unique to this coalition,” Eng said. Leaders of student organiza-tions would meet to discuss men-tal health regarding the student body and potential improvements that could be added on campus. “It would bridge the gap between different student organizations and then bridge the gap between

the organizations and the admin-istration.”

In the summer, Eng submit-ted a proposal for a mental health coalition. “Addressing these com-plications necessitates the cre-ation of a formal, cross-campus collaboration. One party alone cannot break the barriers sur-rounding mental health, as the ef-fort must come from a joint effort between students and the univer-sity,” he said in his proposal.

Eng’s proposed collaboration would allow for a comprehensive survey of students and student organizations. The SHAC com-pleted a mental health survey last spring, but only 257 students were surveyed. This isn’t a large enough sample to be truly rep-resentative of the student body, Eng said. He believes surveying at least 1,000 students would be ideal. The mental health coalition could help to push forward such a survey.

Eng hopes the school will submit itself to the American College Health Assessment, a re-search survey done by the Ameri-can College Health Association in an effort to keep and track data pertaining to mental health. Eng believes the survey would allow UM to compare itself to other universities and analyze potential areas of improvement.

Director of the UM Coun-seling Center René Monteagudo, who has held his position since July, said that both the coalition and a comprehensive survey of mental health on campus are pos-sible.

“The coalition is something we are still deciding how to move forward on,” Monteagudo said. He still needs to acclimate to the center and get a better under-standing of the campus environ-ment.

“The tension at any center is accessibility versus treatment; it is a seesaw experience,” he said. “I think once I’m here a little lon-ger – have gone through a full se-mester – I’ll have a better sense of what the campus needs.”

Monteagudo said the center learned a lot from the student-led mental health forum held last April, hosted by SHAC, Student Government and Miami Mind-fulness. The center implemented anonymous online mental health screenings four weeks ago, and a 45-minute online suicide pre-vention training program as well as an after-hours help line will launch soon. All three initiatives came out of the forum, which will take place again on Nov. 10, from 7-9 p.m.

“I hope to introduce myself to the students, talk about the three initiatives we’ve moved forward and listen to students,” Monteagudo said about the up-coming forum. Monteagudo add-ed that he, Vice President of Stu-dent Affairs Patricia Whitely and Dean of Students Ricardo Hall are teaching outreach techniques to faculty in all of the school’s de-partments so that professors and advisors can be more aware of when a student might need help and be better prepared to point them in the right direction.

The school told Eng the fo-rum could become a regular event as a way to provide outreach for students and collect valuable feedback.

“The event can open some-one’s mind to the idea of profes-sional help,” Eng said. “It turned out to be a brainstorming session ... the administration has been very helpful and is implement-ing most of the recommendations from the forum.”

Around this time of the year, schoolwork and exams are piling up fast. Students may be wonder-ing where in the world all the hours in the week went. Different activities and commitments chew away at our time bit by bit. A few hours spent on club sport practice, a few more in a Model United Nations meeting and a couple evenings of work or volunteering can add up quickly, whittling down the time remaining for the “student life triangle” of studying, sleeping and socializing.

No one can really “do it all” – not with a finite amount of time, that is. So, at a certain point, after sufficiently testing the waters of different activities,

we have to ask ourselves: how many time commit-ments are we willing to take on? How many are we even physically capable of handling?

From the beginning of our college years, there is a push to be as involved as possible, and, under the influence of the surreal optimism that convinces us we can do it all, it’s easy to quickly fall down the slippery slope of overcommitment. While it is incredibly rewarding to pursue meaningful causes and interests, we must be careful not to stretch our-selves too thin. When we’ve reached the point of overexertion, we tend to under-deliver.

This limit is different for every student, and it is our individual responsibility to gauge our own capacity and know where to draw the line. When activities become more burdensome than exciting and when schoolwork and wellness seem to be tak-ing a backseat to everything else, that’s burning out.

So how do we scale back? Which activities do we cut and which do we keep?

This varies widely based on individual stu-dent experiences and goals, but overall, the most rewarding activities are those that give us ample room to contribute. Organizations in which you are genuinely connected with your peers and can take initiative on efforts are more meaningful than “resume padders” in which you are only a fly on the wall. That’s a two-way street, too: invest more in activities that invest a lot in you. Clubs and pro-grams that are well organized and can provide good opportunities for their members are valuable resources.

Make more time for the activities that fulfill you the most by shedding those that don’t.

Editorials represent the majority view of The Miami Hurricane editorial board.

Maintain work-life balance by knowing when to cut back

F ollowing months of fierce and somewhat con-tentious political backlash and disagreements, the Democratic presidential candidates finally went head-to-head during Tuesday night’s de-

bate, the first in a long race for the coveted party nomination. While Clinton and Sanders made headlines the following morning, the other three candidates failed to gain fresh impe-tus with the little speaking time they had, forewarning rougher campaigns for the grueling months to come.

Former Secretary of State and frontrunner Hillary Clin-ton had the most speaking time at roughly 30 minutes. A con-troversial figure, often paired with political malaise and cor-

ruption by embittered conservatives, Clinton tackled questions culled from a long list of burdensome national issues with the tenacity that fueled her campaign at the outset. Moderator Anderson Cooper’s questions, for the most part, were fair and resulted in fewer tense debacles than the GOP’s September debate.

Maintaining her progressive liberal stance, the former first lady demonstrated no hesitation when it came to downplaying any talk of her current email scandal and jumped right into the most prevalent topics of political conversation, such as gun control and income disparity. However, as straightforward as she was, there were plenty of times in which one might’ve wondered whether this particular can-didate had the right priorities. Clinton often used the significance of electing the first female president as a crutch, but as important as breaking modern gender roles is, history has proven that gender isn’t exactly paramount to upholding the position of commander-in-chief. Her emphasis on gender as a factor shaping her presidency undermined discussion of her unique skills and policies.

In addition, as much as she stressed no-fly zones and the use military ag-gression in Syria, her past history of being the head of what many retrospectively

referred to as a neglectful U.S. State Department following the attacks at Benghazi brings up certain qualms on whether she could truly deliver as the leader of one of the largest militaries of the modern era. As well-rounded as Clinton may be, this notion will most certainly dampen her campaign and upcoming efforts to become the potential leader of the free world.

On the contrary, avowed Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders wasn’t afraid to take on crippling social issues by the horns, repeatedly emphasizing how most of the nation’s wealth goes towards the nation’s top one percent while demonstrat-ing his support for the Black Lives Matter movement. His successful presidential campaign, devoid of any super PAC funding, is truly impressive given his political stance, but when it was finally time for the candidates to debate about gun control, Sanders fell flat on his back, coming off as weak compared to Clinton and the other candidates.

Ultimately, Sanders may be a bit too liberal even for the Democratic Party, claiming that Congress should look to Nordic governments as examples of how the American working people should be treated. Nevertheless, he came off as a skilled debater and fared well in a heated feud with one of the most recognized Democrats of the modern era.

For the most part, the debate was free from the puerile, yet somewhat enter-taining exchanges that plagued the last Republican debate, which can easily lead a hapless audience member (or even Donald Trump) to believe that the politicians were “boring,” as was stated on the Republican hopeful’s Twitter. In reality, what most of the candidates posed, namely Sanders and Clinton, were strong, compel-ling arguments that were consistent with the general interests of the Democratic Party.

Nevertheless, a collective and fervent sense of enthusiasm for both domestic and foreign affairs is still sorely needed, rather than favoring one facet over the other, as many of the candidates in Tuesday night’s debate did. This, along with other important blue-state social issues such as women’s rights and LGBT rights, desperately needs to be addressed to a greater extent in the next debate, which will take place on Nov. 14 at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.

are sure to be at each other’s throats. GableStage’s cur-rent rendition of this stock recipe, “Disgraced,” is full of interesting points about Islam’s role in today’s world, but the production doesn’t quite transcend the intellec-tual plane into a fully realized exploration of these chal-lenging themes.

“Disgraced” was written by Ayad Akhtar and won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The original Broad-way production closed less than a year ago. As usual, GableStage is nothing if not timely. The show centers around Amir Kapoor (Armando Acevedo), a Manhat-tan lawyer and ex-Muslim who is forced to confront his deep-seated feelings about his former faith when his art-ist wife Emily (Betsy Graver) begins a series of paint-ings inspired by Islamic culture.

At the same time as the collection brings Emily her f irst taste of commercial success, Amir’s heritage costs him a promotion at work. When the couple hosts a din-ner party with the curator of Emily’s exhibition and one of Amir’s coworkers, who is also married, tensions boil over and harmless small talk escalates into all-out reli-gion war.

Ahktar’s script isn’t afraid to push boundaries, and while the argument around the kitchen table may be an overused stages trope, “Disgraced” is still a bold, thought-provoking piece that deserves its plethora of awards.

Unfortunately, in GableStage’s production, Akhtar’s text does most of the heavy lifting. Amir and Emily are oddly disconnected and prone to f lat delivery that seems to prioritize projection over meaning. They

serve as mouthpieces rather than characters, paradoxi-cally def lating not only the climactic interactions of the show, but also the clarity and effectiveness of its argu-ment.

Members of the supporting cast turned in a number of memorable performances that helped to redeem the f lawed production. Karen Stephens’s natural charisma as the lawyer Jory brought out the best in more uneven scene partners. Of the cast, her character seemed the most like a real human being rather than the embodi-ment of words on the page. Gregg Weiner brought a much-needed dose of humor to this heavy drama as the art curator Isaac. Although his dramatic moments were more hit-or-miss, Weiner successfully drove the core argument of the show with passion. Newcomer Angel Dominguez brought refreshingly honest energy to the role of Abe, Amir’s devout nephew.

Some technical elements that often fade into the background in such a realistic show deserve recogni-

tion. GableStage veteran Lyle Baskin crafted an effec-tive set for the diff icult, wide and shallow stage without compromising the believability of the living area. Subtle work by lighting designer Jeff Quinn not only enhanced the realism of the action but also defined the playing space and directed focus for more intimate scenes.

With themes of Islamophobia, cultural condition-ing and religious evolution, “Disgraced” is incredibly resonant in our world. For that alone, it’s worth seeing. That makes the problematic production at GableStage that much more frustrating; it comes within reach of creating a powerful impact, but instead falls just short.

October 19 - October 21, 2015 THE MIAMI HURRICANE SPORTS 9

I nhale, now exhale, Hur-ricanes fans. The game is over and Miami (4-2, 1-1) scored more points than

Virginia Tech (3-4, 1-2). After suf-fering two tough losses the past two weeks, the Canes took down the Hokies 30-20 in a tense matchup in front of 50,787 fans at Sun Life Sta-dium Saturday.

A 33-yard Virginia Tech touchdown pass with 7:20 remain-ing cut Miami’s lead to three, but the Canes responded with a touch-down throw of their own on a nine-play, 75-yard drive with 2:44 left. Sophomore quarterback Brad Kaa-ya connected with redshirt senior receiver Rashawn Scott for a two-yard catch in the middle of the end zone to put Miami up 30-20.

Junior defensive back Artie Burns ended any chance of a come-back when he picked off Hokies quarterback Michael Brewer on Virginia Tech’s first play from scrimmage of the next drive. The

Canes took over with 2:29 left and ran out the clock in the team’s ACC Coastal Division opener.

“I need every win. We needed it badly because it’s the Coastal,” Kaaya said. “It’s our first Coastal game, so just starting with the Coastal is huge and we’ve just got to keep it rolling.”

Virginia Tech Head Coach Frank Beamer brought in Brewer near the end of the third quarter after quarterback Brenden Motley threw two costly interceptions ear-lier in the game. Brewer had not seen any action since breaking his collarbone in Virginia Tech’s sea-son opener against Ohio State.

Brewer rewarded his coach in his second drive with a beautiful 33-yard touchdown pass to sopho-more receiver Isaiah Ford in the left corner of the end zone. Ford’s catch was reviewed, but the referees up-held the call and Miami’s lead was cut to 23-20 with 7:20 remaining.

Miami outgained Virginia Tech 395 to 361 in total yards and forced four turnovers on defense without giving up any on offense.

“We are an attack defense,” Miami’s Head Coach Al Golden said. “We were getting pressure with four and five [players], which was good.”

The Canes took an early lead on a three-yard rushing touchdown

by sophomore running back Joseph Yearby following a Virginia Tech fumble recovered by sophomore defensive lineman Trent Harris.

The Hokies tied the game at 13 on a 38-yard field goal by sopho-more Joey Slye with 58 seconds left in the first half. Miami appeared ready to run out the final ticks and go into the half tied at 13, but Vir-ginia Tech called timeouts after two short carries by freshman running back Mark Walton. Beamer would quickly come to regret those time-outs.

Facing third-and-20 from the 11-yard line, Virginia Tech jumped offside and Kaaya hit senior re-ceiver Herb Waters for a 45-yard catch down the right sideline on the free play. After getting down to the seven-yard line, Kaaya found Scott in the back of the end zone for a touchdown with four seconds left on the clock. Miami went 79 yards in seven plays and 54 seconds to take a 20-13 lead into the half.

“That’s a game changer right there. That changed momentum. I think it changed the outcome of the game,” Kaaya said about the touch-down to close the first half. “Just the rule is, if they jump offside then get the ball snapped and automatic go route.”

Coming off a strong perfor-mance against Florida State last

Saturday, Kaaya had another im-pressive outing for the Canes. The second-year quarterback out of Cal-ifornia threw for 296 yards and two touchdowns on 19-of-30 passing.

As usual, the Canes’ defense dominated in the third quarter. Miami outscored opponents 41-10 in third quarter coming into this game, and a 21-yard field goal by sophomore Michael Badgley was the only score of the quarter for

either team. Badgley made a ca-reer-long 49-yard field goal on the team’s opening drive of the second quarter to put Miami up 13-10, and had a 24-yarder in the first quarter.

The Hurricanes next play No. 6 Clemson at 12 p.m. Saturday at Sun Life Stadium.

S enior linebacker and team captain Raphael Kirby is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, the team announced Sunday night.

Kirby left the field at the 6:54 mark in the third quarter of Miami’s 30-20 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday. Kirby, who leads the Hurricanes with 44 tack-les, was running toward tight end Kevin Cline when his

right knee buckled. The leader of the defense did not even wait until the end of the play to call Miami’s trainers onto the field.

“I’m crushed,” Head Coach Al Golden said in a teleconference call Sun-day night. “He represents what we want in a Miami Hurricane. He’s a leader, un-selfish and a big part of who we are.”

Kirby will undergo major season-ending surgery on Wednesday. The 6-foot-1, 238-pound native of Stone Mountain, Georgia is the third Canes linebacker lost for the season. Sophomore Darrion Owens is out for the year with a knee injury of his own, and sophomore Marques Gayot suffered a season-ending neck injury in practice nearly a month ago.

Golden said sophomore defensive lineman Trent Har-ris and redshirt freshman Terry McCray are capable of playing Kirby’s “Mike” linebacker role. Sophomore line-backer Juwon Young came in for Kirby against the Hokies and made his first career interception shortly after entering the game.

“Kirby’s always telling me to stay on his level, so I try to beat him out at practice, and it just helped me a lot in the game when it was my time,” Young said after Saturday’s game. “I got to be the captain [with Kirby out]. That’s it. Point blank, period. I’m the ‘Mike’ of the defense.”

Kirby was one of 51 players named to the preseason watch list for the 2015 Butkus Award, which is given to the top linebacker in college football.

10 SPORTS THE MIAMI HURRICANE October 19 - October 21, 2015

T he women’s tennis team cruised to titles in both singles and doubles play in the Bedford Cup

at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers over the weekend. Sophomore Yolimar Ogando beat fellow Cane freshman Ana Madcur in the finals of the Singles A Draw on Sunday, a day after winning the Doubles A Draw with sophomore teammate Wendy Zhang.

The Canes expected a strong showing in the tournament as they

held the top three seeds in their singles division and the top seed in their doubles division.

The Canes got off to a strong start in the singles division as they had four players advance past the round of 16 and into the quarterfi-nals. Miami ended the first day of play with an 11-3 record overall. The hot streak continued into day two as Zhang, Ogando, Madcur and sophomore Silvia Fuentes won their quarterfinals matches, claim-ing all four spots in the semifinals.

In the first semifinal, Ogando rallied back after a difficult start to defeat Fuentes in three grueling sets. The second semifinal between Madcur and Zhang was also hotly contested. Much like Ogando, Mad-cur fell in the first set but reeled off the last two to advance to the final.

Madcur hit a milestone in the semifinal as it was her first ever victory over a ranked opponent. Ultimately, Ogando defeated Mad-cur in straight sets for her second singles title of the fall.

“We are so happy for Ana Madcur,” said Miami Associate

Head Coach Laura Vallverdu to HurricaneSports.com. “She is the tangible definition of hard work paying off. I can’t wait to keep see-ing her development.”

Miami proved to be equally as dominant on the doubles side of the tournament. The dynamic duo of Zhang and Ogando, who were seeded one and two in the singles division, dominated the doubles bracket on their way to a title. They came out on top in a tough match against teammates Fuentes and senior Clementina Riobueno to advance to the final. They then cruised to a championship in the final with a win over a duo from Florida International University.

“The team represented Miami in a professional manner this week-end and that is what we always ask for,” Vallverdu said to Hurricane-Sports.com. “[We are] looking for more of this [type of play] next weekend though.”

The Hurricanes next play in the ITA Southeast Regionals on Oct. 22-26 in Athens, Georgia.

FOOTBALL

T he Hurricanes’ de-fense continued its havoc-wreaking ways with three intercep-

tions and a fumble recovery against Virginia Tech on Sat-urday. Miami leads all ACC teams with 15 takeaways on the year and is tied for 11th nation-ally out of 128 teams in turnovers created. The Canes already have 11 interceptions this season, one more than the team had all of last year.

The entire defense is contrib-uting toward taking the ball away, but the secondary in particular is

playing at a different level. Four defensive backs account for 10 of Miami’s 11 interceptions, and members of the secondary have three of the team’s four fumble recoveries. Leading Miami’s pass coverage is junior defensive back Artie Burns, who now has five interceptions through six games after adding two more against the Hokies.

“I’m just trusting my tech-nique,” Burns said after Miami’s 30-20 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday. “I’ve been working on my craft over the offseason, get-ting better with ball control and stuff like that and making plays.”

Both of Burns’s intercep-tions on Saturday came at crucial points for the Canes. The Hokies were 30 yards away from tying the game at 20 early in the third quarter until Burns read quarter-back Brenden Motely perfectly and made a leaping grab over his receiver.

Burns then iced the game with his interception on quarter-back Michael Brewer with 2:29 remaining. Virginia Tech Head

Coach Frank Beamer benched Motley after he threw a pick straight to sophomore linebacker Juwon Young late in the third quarter.

Young said his first career interception “definitely boosted” his confidence. The seldom-used Georgia native came in for start-ing linebacker senior Raphael Kirby after Kirby left the game with a knee injury with 6:54 left in the third quarter.

“I’ve been kind of down, just waiting on my chance,” Young said. “So now I finally got it, but it boosted my confidence a lot.”

Virginia Tech Offensive Co-ordinator Scot Loeffler lamented his group’s giveaways after the game.

“We threw three intercep-tions today. That’s why we lost the game,” Loeffler said. “When-ever you walk in against a team that’s No. 1 in the ACC in turn-over margin, you cannot turn over the football. That’s the num-ber one thing we walked into this game saying we cannot do.”

Sophomore defensive line-man Trent Harris started Mi-ami off with a fumble recovery on Virginia Tech’s first drive of the game. Harris came charging at quarterback Brenden Motely unblocked, and Motley dropped the ball back at the Hokies’ three-yard line. Sophomore Joseph Yearby scored one play later to

put the Canes on top 7-0 nearly three minutes into the game.

While the defense racks up takeaways, the offense has only turned the ball over twice all year. Miami (4-2, 1-1) will need this trend to continue if the team is going to challenge for an ACC Coastal Division title.

Dear V,Dear V,

Lately, my boyfriend drinks a lot more than he used to. I know we’re in college, so I’m trying to be patient because I don’t drink and know I’m in the minority in a city like ours. However, this has gotten out of control. He spends at least a hundred dollars a week on alcohol and comes to class hungover, unable to concen-trate. He says he’s got it under

control – but I know his grades are slipping and he’s lying to his parents about where the money’s going. When I try to talk to him, he acts like I’m no fun and I don’t understand that college students are “supposed to drink.” I don’t mind being around people who just want to have a good time, but I’m tired of helping my boyfriend as he’s hunched over the toilet and driving him home from parties on nights I need to study for my own classes. What should I do?

Sincerely,Sincerely,Sober Sally

Dear Sober Sally,Dear Sober Sally,

First off, you’ll never talk sense into someone who won’t admit they have a problem. Trying to be rational with someone whose vice is

leading their life will always end up with them shifting the blame back to you so they don’t have to admit there’s an issue.

Give up on trying to have “the talk” with your boyfriend, and start taking action.

The first thing to do is to refuse to be around him when he drinks. If you’re around and having a good time while he’s getting hammered, he’s not going to think he’s doing anything wrong. When the booze comes out, step out. Tell him this policy beforehand, and walk out the door at the first sight of a sip.

The second thing to do is to stop being an enabler. If your boyfriend knows you’ll always have his back when he’s wasted, he’ll use you as a crutch. Stop being there while he’s hunched over the toilet, and do you instead. You’re not his Uber driver, so don’t act like one. If he needs a ride home from a party, tell him to arrange it with one of the

guys he’s getting trashed with (hope-fully the DD). Sure, it’ll be scary to not check in and make sure he’s okay, but at some point, you’ve got to realize he’s an adult and look out for yourself.

If your boyfriend doesn’t start to change his behavior after you pull away, then maybe it’s time to call it quits. You can’t save people who don’t want to be saved, and it’s not worth you being dragged down with him.

So put down the cape and stop trying to be Super Girl. Give him a little tough love instead. If nothing changes, you might have to leave him sitting at the bar and find someone whose vice isn’t the type to make his liver quiver.
